This is my entry for this month using the words distortion and throne. Excuse my voice on this. It comes from a sort of rock opera I started to write about a mythical leader of a clan. A benevolent King who is trying to get a democratic system going where people vote for their leader but no one wants to have a go.

Cheers Jim and Piri thank you for your comments. Harmonica Man he looks like a character out of "The Lord Of The Rings" film. How he gets the mouthorgan passed his beard to his lips is a feat in itself I should imagine. I will attach a short video of me chatting to him.

Keep up the good work  Richard.     

Excellent Jazzy song nicely performed.     

Jan , thank you for taking the time to check out this post and comment.     

Cheers Jan thank you for reading and commenting. I think what is happening with many of the rough sleepers is they are there due to drug addictions.  A friend of mine who works for the Sallies tells me many would rather use their dole money for drugs rather than accommodation.  Hustlers are everywhere in society but it seems the street ones are getting  more craftier with their scams.  I know phone scams are big business in some countries. Tech makes it easy for them to steal peoples money. Then we have also the hackers some of them working for corrupt governments.     

Excellent entries by  both Richard and Brian this month That is a good Beatles song for you Richard. Brian your song had your wonderful  humour and it has catchy flow also.

Excellent demo all it really needs is just drums and a bass.     

Very powerful lyrics Jim. Many years back I went through a time of depression and anxiety.  Your lyrics express how I felt in that dark period even though I had good people around me.     

Piri  I like this name Chackrobathi.

Miss matched shoes and socks each different colours for some of the young around here seems to be a bit of fashion statement nowdays. Mr Chackrobarthi a great name and your writing is right up my street when it comes to humour.  I remember as a kid being introduced to the Pippi Longstocking story and her horse Lilla Gubben. A few years ago I found out Lilla Gubben means “little old man”.in Swedish. I knew a horse whose  leg stocking were different colours  and the owner use to call her Pippi Oddsocks. Sorry about my boring Segway excellent writing  by you Piri. Anyway Piri your comedic writing style would give David Nobbs writing good competition. Mr Chackrobarthi drunken socks brought from the grot shop.  I guess using  the saying pull up your socks Mr Chackrobarthi takes on a different meaning here. Woops Ive lost the plot. I can hear that name Chackrobathi been used in a song. I am trying to remember who sang these lyrics or something close after reading your poem here.

Goo goo, goo goo Barabajagal was my name now,
Goo goo, goo goo Barabajagal was my name now.

Not goo goo  goo Chackrobarthi  was my name now.
